Why Install a New Garage Door?

Curb Appeal and Home Value

According to Remodeling Magazine's Cost vs. Value report, garage door replacement consistently ranks among the top home improvement projects for return on investment, often recouping 90% or more of the project cost at resale. A new door can transform your home's entire appearance, especially if your current door is dated, damaged, or simply doesn't complement your home's architecture.

Energy Efficiency

If your garage is attached to your home, an insulated garage door significantly impacts energy efficiency. Modern insulated doors maintain more consistent garage temperatures, reducing strain on your home's HVAC system. This is especially important in Birmingham's hot summers and variable winters. Even if your garage is detached, insulation protects items stored inside from temperature extremes.

Security Enhancement

Older garage doors may have outdated locking mechanisms, thin panels easily compromised, or gaps that provide entry points for intruders. New doors feature robust construction, modern security features, and precise fitting that enhances your home's overall security.

Quieter Operation

Modern garage doors with quality hardware operate much more quietly than older doors. Combined with a belt-drive opener, a new door can virtually eliminate the rattling and rumbling that announces your arrivals and departures throughout the house.

Reduced Maintenance

New doors require minimal maintenance compared to older doors that need constant attention to rusting hardware, rotting wood, peeling paint, and failing components.

Garage Door Types and Materials

Steel Garage Doors

Steel is the most popular choice for residential garage doors, and for good reason. Modern steel doors are durable, low-maintenance, available in countless styles and colors, and can be insulated for energy efficiency. They resist warping, cracking, and rotting that plague other materials. Quality steel doors feature multiple layers—outer steel, insulation, and inner steel backing—for strength and thermal performance.

Aluminum Garage Doors

Aluminum doors are lighter than steel, making them a good choice for larger openings where door weight is a concern. They resist rust better than steel in humid environments, though they're more susceptible to dents. Modern aluminum doors often feature glass panels for a contemporary look.

Wood Garage Doors

Nothing matches the natural beauty of real wood, and wood doors are the premium choice for homeowners seeking distinctive aesthetics. Cedar, redwood, and mahogany are popular species. Wood requires more maintenance than steel or aluminum—regular sealing or painting is essential—but provides unmatched warmth and character.

Composite and Faux Wood

Composite doors offer the look of wood without the maintenance demands. They're constructed from recycled materials and resist warping, cracking, and rotting. High-quality composites are virtually indistinguishable from real wood but require only minimal upkeep.

Style Options

• Traditional Raised Panel: Classic design that complements most home styles
• Carriage House: Evokes the charm of old carriage house doors with modern functionality
• Contemporary/Modern: Clean lines, often with glass panels, for modern architecture
• Flush Panel: Smooth, minimalist appearance for contemporary homes
• Full View/Glass: Aluminum frames with large glass panels for modern aesthetics and natural light
